Best way to submit articles to directories?

2 replies
I was reading up on article submission and I would like to send my articles to about 5 directories. Is it best to send the same article to all 5 directories or should I spin 5 different articles and submit them?

From what I understand, google does not count duplicate content. Does this mean that if I have 2k backlinks, and google does not acknowledge 500 of them due to duplicate content, will it be as if I had only established 1500 links instead of the full 2k? This style of marketing is rather new to me and I'm a bit confused.

Thanks a bunch,
Adrianne

    Well I can not say about the numbers but one thing I'm damn sure about is that duplicate content posting may let you face some unhealthy consequences in long run so better not use it. Thumbs down for that
